"God is with us!"

Rosie kissed his saber and shouted feverishly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally from Milan, he wore an ancient white robe with a thickened plate cuirass, a bright red cross at the heart, representing his special status as a Templar, and under his crotch was a white Antalusian horse, with a long mane flowing at the shoulders of a war horse with a height of almost 1.6 meters, coupled with his figure of more than 1.8 meters, a handsome face like an ancient Greek sculpture, and a helmet with white bird feathers on his head, making him look like an angel descending from a church fresco.

"Kill!"

He yelled.

Then he pointed forward with his saber and urged the horse to gallop.

Behind him, countless war horses were carrying white robes on their backs, and the cavalry with red crosses also began to gallop.

All the horses were roaring wildly, they were desperately urging their horses under their crotches, their bodies leaning forward as much as possible, their sabers stretched out forward, their robes dancing behind them, their armor shining silver in the sun, this was the most powerful force of the classical era, this was the most loyal defender of God, they had a common name......

Templars.

Five thousand Templars.

They were the first wave of the counterattack, and behind them there were hundreds of thousands of armies of all stripes coming, and they vowed to drive the demons from the east out of this sacred land, and with the glory of the knightly age, the Templars disdained to go into the ground like those lowly peasants to wait for the Ming army, and they wanted to smash the myth of the Ming army's invincibility with the torrent of iron horsemen, just like their predecessors.

In this way, the silver torrent swept over the green earth like a silver raging wave.

And in front of them......

"Ready!"

Lin Dong, the commander of the second battalion of the 1st Marine Brigade of the Ming Army, raised his saber and shouted expressionlessly.

Behind the three two-inch infantry guns of the battalion gun post beside him, the three gun commanders tightened the gun ropes at the same time.

"Fire!"

Battalion Commander Lin said with a wave of his saber.

The three infantry cannons erupted at the same time, and the cannonballs filled with the new explosives instantly reached the heads of the Templars, exploding with the effect of the time fuse, and the shrapnel frantically harvested the lives of the Templars below.

Behind the three infantry guns at the same time, the gunners reloaded the shells as fast as they could, and once again completed the firing, the cannons with metal cartridges and re-entry devices, which rained down on the heads of the Templars at a rate of ten rounds per minute, and in the explosion of the shells, the ancient knights fell off their horses and were trampled into pulp by the galloping horses.

"For God's sake, God's will!"

Rosie roared frantically, continuing to urge his horse.

"God's will!"

With a roar, the knights continued on.

"Fire!"

Lin Dong gave the order again with an expressionless face.

The twelve machine guns of the battalion's gun sentry suddenly erupted into flames, and as strips of canvas cartridges full of bullets were swallowed in, the frantically sprayed bullets pierced into the Templars with tracer light indicating the trajectory of the ballistics, and the charging Templar forwards, those galloping war horses were like encountering countless triplines, and they kept kneeling to the ground, throwing out the knights on their backs, and at the same time, they were knocked down and stepped on by the war horses behind them, and the stormy bullets were still constantly hitting the knights to create more killing.

"For God's sake, kill!"

Rossi was still running wild.

"For God's sake, kill!"

The remaining Templars were still on the run.

And on the Ming position, those infantry guns are still roaring, and those machine guns are still spewing flames.

This is a contest of will, courage, faith and machinery, the charging knights are indomitable, for God and faith, they are willing to shed the last drop of blood, as long as they can rush to the position of the Ming army, even if they rush over one person is a victory, and their opponent is an industrialized war machine, the mechanical parts that run at high speed only need to maintain sufficient lubrication and cooling, and then add a steady stream of bullets or shells, and the result of this contest is obviously not any suspense, By the time Rossi and his comrades rushed to the point where the Ming soldiers could be seen, less than half of them were left.

But they are still charging.

"Fire!"

Lin Dong still gave the order with an expressionless face.

In a hastily excavated shallow trench, 600 Ming officers and soldiers from three infantry posts pulled the trigger at the same time, then pulled the bolt to grab the cartridge case, then pushed a bullet from the bomb bay and pulled the trigger again, and the same action was repeated. When the five rounds were fired, they immediately loaded into a new bridge clamp, and then continued the previous process, at this moment all the soldiers seemed to have become machines, their movements were neat and smooth like high-speed parts, they were indeed parts, a part of the Ming war machine.

And by this time the knights had already failed.

"Kill, in order to ......"

Rossi stared at the blood-red eyes and roared, and suddenly the war horse under his crotch fell to his knees with a scream, and threw him out at the same time, he fell heavily to the ground, and then rolled forward a few times, the white robe turned into dirty rags, the helmet decorated with feathers flew out and fell into the sewage, the handsome face was full of bloody scratches, he held on to the broken saber, struggled to stand up, stunned to find that there was no companion on either side, he turned his head blankly to look behind him, Then a spectacular scene unfolded before his eyes.

The corpses of countless people and horses stretched as if they were endless in the open field, and many who had not yet died were constantly struggling and wailing in it, and the blood stained the earth red under the bright sun of Sicily, and the strange colors were also endless.

He stood there blankly.

Suddenly, a strange whistling sound fell overhead, and then the fire flashed in front of him, and he felt himself fly, and then slammed into the ground.

On the Ming position behind him, a Ming soldier with a grenadier and his assistant high-fived and laughed, and at the same time the order to clean up the battlefield sounded, the infantry in the trenches immediately walked out with bayonet rifles, looking for the Templars who were not dead and then replenishing them with bayonets, which had become the main job of the Ming soldiers. One of the soldiers walked up to Rossi, looked at him who was still twitching, unceremoniously took off the ring from his hand, looked at the jewel on it, put it in his pocket with a satisfied smile, then picked up his rifle and stabbed the bayonet directly into his eye, stirred it casually, pulled out the bayonet stained with blood and brains and walked to the next target.

"These madmen are blind to so many good horses!"

Lin Dong casually pulled an empty ammunition box, sat there and took out a cigarette and lit it, looking at the seemingly boundless dead corpses of war horses on the battlefield in front of him.

And at this time, on the dock that had just been repaired in the port of Pozzallo, a new destroyer slowly docked.

"Your Majesty."

Fang Hong led his subordinates to all knees on the shore, bowing their heads and shouting reverently.

And on the gangway of this destroyer, His Majesty the Emperor, wearing his old-fashioned Ming army uniform, wearing a helmet on his head and a cuirass, is walking down with a solemn face, and the scarlet cloak behind him is dancing in the wind, this is his most classic image, most of the holy statues in the shrines around the country are according to this appearance, at this time, as soon as they saw the true face, those soldiers who had already been extremely devout to him were so excited that they cried.

"Who is this?"

After Yang Feng walked down the gangway, he casually boosted his morale, and then pointed to a white man kneeling beside Fang Hong and said.

"Your Majesty, this is the captain of the Spanish Volunteer Corps formed by my Ming subjects in response to Your Majesty's call, they were all Spaniards before they were naturalized into the Empire, this time Your Majesty drove the expedition in person, liberated their relatives in their homeland from the blindness of Philip V Bao Zheng and Xie Sect, they are very grateful, and specially organized this volunteer army to act as a guide for the king. Pi Guozhong himself was born in this Sicily, this time thanks to their help, our army was able to successfully land, since he was naturalized, he dreamed of seeing the face of the sky, this time the minister specially took him to meet His Majesty. ”

Fang Hong said.

"Very good, come on, prepare pen and ink!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

As for Na Pi Guozhong, he was lying on the ground at this time and only cried excitedly, and he couldn't even stand up.

Soon the attendant put the pen and ink and the like, and then unfolded a roll of yellow silk, His Majesty the Emperor brewed for a while, and then brushed and brushed in one go on the yellow silk to write four big characters of red courage and loyalty, and wrote a line of small characters, giving the righteous people Pi Guozhong, next to the attendant then took out the jade seal for him to seal, and after stamping the seal, handed it to Pi Guozhong lying on the ground, who trembled and held it in his hand.

"Your Majesty......"

He choked up and shouted.

Then he just fell on the ground and fainted.

Of course, this is just a small episode, although Pi Guozhong's loyalty makes Emperor Yang very happy, but in the end, there are hundreds of millions of people in the world who are also loyal to him, just leave a Mobao, there is no need to reward them more. In fact, the reason why these guys came to drive for the king is of course not for the early liberation of their relatives in their hometown, they are here to make a fortune to put it bluntly, and who knows how to get rich better than them? They were in cahoots with the generals of the Ming army, went to one place to loot a place, and then everyone was happy to share the spoils, this is the old rule, of course, Yang Feng also encouraged them to do this, what is the motivation of the thirty-year colonial history of the Ming Empire? That's not all.

Immediately after that, His Majesty the Emperor boarded a special car that accompanied him in the bow of his subjects, and then rode in this open-top car specially developed for him by the Kirin Automobile Company, and was escorted by the dragoon guards to the palace prepared for him by Fang Hong, because at this time, Palermo, the capital of the Kingdom of Sicily, had not yet been captured by the Ming army, so His Majesty the Emperor could only deign to a nearby manor.

At this time, in addition to the 1st Marine Army that had landed, the follow-up 32nd and 37th Infantry Corps were also gradually arriving, and these three armies would be mainly used for sweeping operations against Sicily, followed by eight armies that were coming from the country by sea, and they would together form the 81st Army of the Ming Army......

Well, the group army sequence of the Ming Army has been ranked to eighty-one.

Then His Majesty the Emperor personally commanded this group of armies, landing on the Apennine Peninsula from Sicily to the north, sweeping the whole of Italy from south to north, and there are still the Kingdom of Naples, the Papal States, and then to the north there are Venice, Tuscany, Genoa, Milan and several other small messy countries, but many of them have crowns on the head of Philip V, especially Naples, so at least so far, he is at war with France.

There is also the Papal States.

After all, he and the Papal States have long been at war.

But in fact, he was at war with the whole of Western Europe, not only the princes of the Apennine Peninsula sent troops in the Papal States, but even the princes of the HRE, Northern Europe and England all participated in the war, and they all knew very well that Yang Feng could not cross the Alps under any circumstances. And the Apennine Peninsula is the best decisive battle, now France alone has mobilized more than 200,000 troops into Naples to prepare for a bloody battle with the Ming army, plus other elements, the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula has gathered at least 500,000 troops from all walks of life, and their slogan is to defend the Vatican and protect God.

After all, it's useless to shout anything else at this time.

It's useless to shout what nation-states.

At this time, the national concept of European countries is not so strong, at least the people don't care about this, as for shouting the country, it is even more useless, everyone knows that the country is the king, and it has nothing to do with the people.

After all, at this time, there were still a lot of fools in Europe, and they were most easily inspired by faith.

At this time, the churches all over Europe were like military camps, and the priests were desperately encouraging the believers to go to the battlefield of resistance to the invasion of the Ming imperialists, for the glory of God, for their faith, for the sake of heaven after death.

The latter, in particular, is the most important.

The Pope has even explicitly declared that all believers who fight for God, all sins will be redeemed and then qualified for ascension to heaven.

So almost all the men of Europe were armed, from the old men in their fifties and sixties to the children of fifteen or sixteen, who joined in the fight for God, and then took up all the weapons they could find, from rifled guns to ancient crossbows, and supposedly with flails and dung forks. All in all, at this time in Europe, a vigorous European version of the Boxer Rebellion was being set off, and those priests and abbots were like elder brothers, and even some guys who claimed to have blessed the angels of God appeared.
